Six Working Ways to Engage Students in Volunteering
We can’t deny the fact that students are an important part of our society today. Their level of social awareness, their keenness in sharing knowledge, and their great enthusiasm for a cause that interests them make them a good fit for volunteers. Being a volunteer involves spending your time and energy in an activity that isn’t directly for your good, but rather for others.

Things I Wish I Knew Before Attending a Predominately White Institution
PWI. For the purposes of this blog and my actual life, I am not referring to Pro Wrestling Illustrated or Public Windows Interface. I am referring to what is known as a Predominately White Institution. Yes, essentially a college where I am likely to be the only person of color in the room.

Public school learning has gotten worse over the years. This trend may lead you to wonder if you could or should homeschool your child.
